Filed Under: Hawkeye

It's been a very busy week for news here on ComicBookMovie.com, and while there are pretty much no new releases coming out in 2020, we've still seen a lot of big movie and TV show updates shared by Marvel, DC Entertainment, and more. In fact, it's felt like business as usual in Hollywood!

So, regardless of whether you've been glued to CBM all week or have fallen behind on what's been happening in the world of pop culture, we have you covered with this recap of the biggest stories.

There's a lot of good stuff to delve into here, and we've got fans of pretty much everything covered! WarnerMedia changed the film industry with a blockbuster announcement earlier this week, while Hawkeye fans have been treated to set photos and some major casting news. There's even a big WandaVision reveal, not to mention a tonne of amazing content for fans of The Mandalorian!

To take a look through these stories, all you guys need to do is hit the "Next" button down below.

10. David Ramsey Is Returning To The Arrowverse In A Big Way

In the series finale of Arrow, Diggle came across something that looked an awful lot like a Green Lantern ring. Theories have persisted for years that he's actually John Stewart, but the actor is now set to return to The CWVerse...both in front of the camera and behind it.

Ramsey has signed up to direct five episodes of The CW's DC TV shows, including Superman & Lois, Supergirl, The Flash, Batwoman, and Legends of Tomorrow. He's also set to guest star in them, taking on the role of Arrow fan-favourite, John Diggle/Spartan...and a mystery character!

Find more details on that, and comments from Ramsey, by clicking here.

9. Marvel Studios And Disney+ Pay Homage To Chadwick Boseman

Earlier this week was what would have been the late Chadwick Boseman's 44th birthday. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger took to Twitter to promise that the studio would find a way to pay homage to the Black Panther star, and they definitely delivered what proved to a wonderful tribute to Boseman.

Now, when you watch Black Panther, there's a new intro featuring footage of the actor from his Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances in movies Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: Civil War.

Watch the new intro here.

8. Lynda Carter May Return As Wonder Woman In The Flash

This week, Batman & Robin star George Clooney debunked rumors that he'll be donning his cape and cowl alongside Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck in The Flash. That wasn't a huge surprise, but those comments were followed by a rumour that Lynder Carter is set to return as Wonder Woman.

The actress played the iconic DC Comics superhero in the 1970s live-action television series, and adding further fuel to the fire was the fact AT&T (the parent company of Warner Bros.) responded to a Tweet mentioning the rumour. Now, it's hard to escape the feeling this might actually pan out.

Find out more about this particular rumour by clicking here.

7. Peter Dinklage To Star In Toxic Avenger Reboot

It's been a while since we've heard anything concrete about that Toxic Avenger reboot, but it was revealed this week that a major casting addition has been made in the form of Peter Dinklage.

The Game of Thrones and Avengers: Infinity War star will be taking on the title role. The logline reveals that, "a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste and is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends, and his community from the forces of corruption and greed."

We have more details on the project here.

6. The Umbrella Academy's Star Elliot Page Comes Out As Trans

Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, took to Twitter this week to confirm that he is transgender. The actor has changed his name to Elliot and made it clear that his pronouns are he/they.

The actor's emotional statement quickly went viral, but may fans were left wondering what this might mean for The Umbrella Academy. In the Netflix series, Page plays a female character, and with season three on the horizon, there was speculation he would ultimately be recast.

Well, we later received an update on that which you can find right here.

5. Monica Rambeau's Superhero Costume Revealed

It's thought that Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau will be an Agent of S.W.O.R.D. in WandaVision, but most comic book fans are hoping for a superhero transformation into her Spectrum alter-ego.

In some new merchandise, we got what appears to be our first look at the superhero suit the character will be wearing. It's hard to say whether it's Monica's "final" costume, but this seems to be more than just a S.W.O.R.D. uniform, and a look that bears more than a passing resemblance to what her comic book counterpart wears in her adventures with the Avengers.

Take a look at that by clicking here.

4. So. Much. Mandalorian. Content.

It's been a great week to be a fan of The Mandalorian.

Following last week's epic episode featuring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, we were treated to posters, still, concept art, and some great interviews with the actress discussing her role. All of that can be found by heading over to our tab featuring all our latest stories on the Disney+ TV series.

For some spoilers about yesterday's episode (which was another big one) just make sure to click here.

3. Hawkeye Makes Some Major Casting Additions

With shooting on the Hawkeye TV show taking place in New York as we write this, it's no great surprise that we're finally learning more about what's to come in this team-up for Clint Barton and Kate Bishop. This week, however, some huge casting news broke for the Disney+ series.

Eleanor Bishop, Echo, Swordsman, William Lopez, and Clown have all been cast, and Marvel Studios has attracted some serious talent to the show. Florence Pugh, meanwhile, is returning as Yelena Belova (cementing her position as the new Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Find out who is playing who by clicking here.

2. WarnerMedia Makes Game-Changing Decision, Reveals New Logos

We're still reeling from the news that all of Warner Bros.' 2021 movies will be released on HBO Max at the same time as theaters, as is the entire film industry. This is a decision which looks set to have major consequences over the next year, but what does it mean for us?

Well, if you're an HBO Max subscriber, you'll be able to check out the likes of The Suicide Squad, Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, and The Matrix 4 from the comfort - and safety - of your own home next year.

Take a look at some new logos for some of those movies by clicking here.

1. Hi-Res Set Photos Reveal Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop

It's been a great week for fans of Hawkeye. Hailee Steinfeld has finally been confirmed as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Kate Bishop, with hi-res set photos offering a first look at her, Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton, and Lucky the Pizza Dog on the set of the upcoming Disney+ TV series.

They've also confirmed that Clint will be wearing a hearing aid in the show, while a second batch of photos showed the trio taking a walk together in a local Brooklyn park.

We've also had a first look at Echo, but it's definitely Lucky who we've all fallen in love with!

Hawkeye was this week's main attraction he definitely came through in a big way. Pretty decent week for news

tmp3 - 12/5/2020, 8:11 AM

@MyCoolYoung - I feel like WB destroying the theatrical model might have been bigger news, haha. [frick] WB.

bkmeijer2 - 12/5/2020, 8:13 AM

OT (like every week on this article really):

I watched Sound of Metal yesterday and gotta say it really made me think. Not just because I didn't always directly knew where the plot was going, but also about going and being deaf. Riz Ahmed was amazing as the stubborn musician, and now I kinda wanna watch Mogul Mowghli too.

I also finally finished Hunters. The characters were fun, but sometimes that extravagancy came in the way of the seriousness. The twist didn't really fit either, it was just one long exposition scene that came kinda outta nowhere. Maybe I'm just bothered because the character and I share the same name though.

inkniron - 12/5/2020, 8:13 AM

No matter how excited one may be about Hawkeye, the WB news was definitely the #1 most impactful story.

Vanillain - 12/5/2020, 8:31 AM

I've been starved from MCU news and all but it's the WB bomb that's #1 for me.

comicfan100 - 12/5/2020, 8:33 AM

Um, why have you guys yet to make an article about Naomi getting her own show on the CW by Ava DuVernay?
